Blake Lively accused her co-star of sexual harassment: what outraged her and how the actor reacted

American actress Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her co-star in the movie "It Ends With Us" Justin Baldoni. The 37-year-old accused the celebrity of sexual harassment.

According to Variety, the actress filed a complaint with the California Department of Civil Rights back in January of this year. She claims that a colleague was free to discuss her weight with her trainer, demanded that she disclose her religious beliefs, and entered her dressing room without permission, even when the star was breastfeeding her child.

In addition, as Blake Lively noted, producer Jamey Heath also demonstrated inappropriate behavior. According to the star, the men told overly explicit stories about their intimate lives and "former addiction to adult films." Baldoni also assured the celebrity that he could communicate with the dead, so he did not avoid making horrific statements about her late father.

"I hope that my lawsuit will help lift the veil on these sinister retaliation tactics aimed at harming people who speak out about misconduct and help protect those who may be targeted for harassment," Lively said.

The actress demands that Justin Baldoni, who is also the director of "It Ends With Us," not add any intimate scenes to the script, except for those that were approved before the start of the filming process. The star also wants to receive compensation for unspecified damages from his colleague.

"Mr. Baldoni and his Wayfarer colleagues have developed a sophisticated press and digital plan in response to Ms. Lively exercising her legally protected right to speak out about their misconduct on set, with the additional goal of intimidating her and anyone else from speaking publicly about what really happened," the actress' lawyers said.

Justin Baldoni's reaction

According to People, Baldoni's representatives deny all allegations against the actor. According to them, Blake Lively's lawsuit is "shameful" and aimed at "correcting the negative reputation" of the star.

In addition, Baldoni's lawyer assures that the celebrity created many problems during the process of creating the film. According to him, Lively threatened not to appear on the set and refused to promote the film, which would ultimately lead to its collapse during the release.
